Re: Couple of Rookie Team questions
Hi,

Welcome to FIRST and CD. I am the coach of a rookie team from last year. We had no tools at all when we first started. I have an Excel spreadsheet that I can email if you would PM me with your email address. The spreadsheet is normally on our website to help all rookie teams how to get started but our website is down right now. The spreadsheet has the name of the place I got things from, item number and price. It includes all items we bought up to December 31, 2008. I will update it to show what is essential that we use a lot, what is recommended that will be helpful to you but not absolutely essential if you have a tight budget and the rest was a waste of money. Keep in mind that veteran teams own a lot of tools that are not necessary for a rookie teams. Our robot last year was very simple so it was easy to build.

Good luck to your first season. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
